Christian Horner has stressed again that Red Bull will not be choosing a favourite in the fight for this year's World title.

With eight races remaining in the Championship, Red Bull's two drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, are second and third in the standings with just 1.5 points separating the two.

But aside from their points in the standings, both have also proven they can win grands prix, with Vettel claiming two wins to Webber's one.

And as such Horner believes it would be unjust at this stage of the game to pick one over the other in the race for the title.

"We will continue to support both drivers equally," he told the team's website.

"There's only a point and a half between them, so obviously they are both in contention for the Drivers' Championship. There's a long way to go to catch up with Jenson Button.

"If and when we reach a point where there is a significant gap, or it becomes mathematically impossible for one of them to challenge for the Championship, then they are both team players and one of them will play a supporting role should it be required.

"Our intention is to see both of them catch the lead Brawn as quickly as possible."
